Jeffrey W Daufuskie Is , SC January 01, 2017 Appliance: General Electric Electric Dryer DPSR473EW0WW Ge Dryer Dpsr473ew0ww: Heating element is warm but not drying clothes well. How to replace Selector Knob. I accessed the APP website, and learned that this GE dryer has 2 heating elements. A heater element repair kit was available so I ordered it. Upon disassembly of the dryer, I discovered that one of the coils was indeed broken. I removed the old coils, installed the new coils, and now it's really hot. 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours
